I finally decided on a rug for the nursery. It just arrived on Saturday and I am so excited!! I love the way it looks and I think it will really tie in the room. The room is not very big, so I bought a 5 by 8.

It has all the colors I wanted, Gray, Navy, light Blue and Cream. Its perfect for the nursery and I can't wait to see it in the finished room. Its also chevron, I love chevron rugs!

I bought mine on Joss and Main but I also found it on overstock for cheaper (see the link below)

Here is my styleboard that I created to help guide my nursery design. I wanted something sophisticated and nautical because my husband is a freediving spearfishing enthusiast. It only seemed fitting. I love the warm gray walls with the navy & baby blue.

Dress: James Perse *non Maternity* Found it at HomeGoods for $60! A very similar one can be foundHere for $195.

My Birthday at the Beach, March 15th 2014

Last Birthday in my 20's!

I had a wonderful birthday at the beach with my hubby. I had all my favorite foods and pregnancy cravings... including starting the morning at Pure Barre, my hubby bringing me a doughnut, eating my kale smoothie, enjoying the sun and sand, a takeout lunch - a grilled pork bahn mi, a homemade avocado & bacon turkey burger for dinner including garlic fries, and a mud pie for dessert! Its not a typical day for me!
